After welcoming the little boy later that night I headed home to catch up on sleep. After coming home I sent an email out informing everybody about little one’s arrival. While trying to sound funny in the email I ended up creating more confusion. GENIUS !! Here is the email I sent out:
Hello,
My name is “Neev Jain”. I was born last night (11:49 PM) at Akron City Hospital. I weigh 6 pounds and 9.75 ounces and am 19 inches tall. I have two arms, two legs, one thumb, and four fingers on each of my two tiny hands. I have two big black eyes, one nose with two large cheeks either side. I have two ears, two feet, one strong heart and two very delighted parents (Nitesh and Vineeta).
Thank you for all your best wishes, I and my mom both are doing great.
Thanks

Anybody guessed what’s wrong with this mail …yeah right ..no body knew whether it was a boy or a girl. Let me just say that that there were some really funny mails were sent back to me, several thousand Google searches were performed to find whether the name belonged to a boy or a girl and My email was flooded with questions of that nature.

I came back next day at 6:45 AM, Vin was almost awake. I went and got Nee and Vi tired to breast feed him. He started to get a handle on that part. Later that morning Dr McKnight came to see Nee. He was surprised to find that the little bundle of joy was able to lift his head already. Vi would complain of the pain once in a while and took the pain medicine. However, I could see that she was getting her strength back as she had normal lunch and breakfast today. At around 10:30, the lactation expert came and spent 20 minutes explaining Vi various intricacies of breastfeeding. In the afternoon we filled Neev’s birth certificate paper work. At around 4:30 we found out that we will be discharged today as everything seem to be normal with both Vi and baby. After we had our exit interview we started to pack everything and left hospital at 7:20. We put the baby in the car seat and boy I was nervous !! Infact I was even more nervous-er when I drove to the house with the baby in it. With the grace of God We reached home healthy and safely. As I was parking the car, I saw prash pull over in the drive way. He helped getting all the stuff in the house.![neev_going_home neev_going_home](https://jnitesh.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/neev_going_home.jpg?w=352&h=374)

As we entered in the house we both (or at least I) got so scared..I had no idea what we are going to do..we knew noting ..the heat was not on and house was really cold…the baby monitor was not set…the diaper and the diaper disposer was not ready !! I felt so bad that how can we be so unready !! However slowly everything was falling in place the little guy cried for a while but we fed him and he went to sleep. Which gave us some time to keep everything else in place. I made a quick trip to Pharmacy to get Vi’s pain medication. 20 minutes after I came back Prash and Mani brought food ..what a CONCEPT !! As little monster was still sleeping we attacked on food and I swear it was delicious. We were expecting that little Neev would have tough time adjusting to the new home but he got used it fairly quickly, not that he didn’t cry but he was ok.
In hindsight, have we done anything different in last two days ..YES specially “Brining the Baby Home” part but we learned ..
Thanks to everyone for all their love and support through these past 39 weeks. We both are filled with intense feelings of love and joy that I didn’t know existed. There is no way I’ll be able to relay any of it accurately- I’ve been told there aren’t words …so please forgive !!
